E-cigarette Smoking and Colorectal Cancer Screening.

Purpose: To evaluate how CRC screening practices differ between e-cigarette users and non-users.

Design: Cross-sectional study design.

Setting: National Cancer Institute's Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 5).

Integrated stress responses in okra plants (cv. ''Meya']: unravelling the mechanisms underlying drought and nematode co-occurrence.

Background: Climate change threatens sub-Saharan Africa's agricultural production, causing abiotic and biotic stressors. The study of plant responses to joint stressors is crucial for understanding molecular processes and identifying resilient crops for global food security. This study aimed to explore the shared and tailored responses of okra plants (cv.

Technology for fast-tracking high-risk head and neck cancer referrals: Co-designing with patients.

Background: Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) is the eighth most prevalent global cancer. Timely recognition of symptoms is crucial for reducing mortality rates. The EVolution of a patiEnt-REported symptom-based risk stratification sySTem to redesign the suspected Head and Neck cancer referral pathway (EVEREST-HN) study aims to develop and evaluate a risk stratification tool using patient reported symptoms, which will be populated remotely in the community before the patient is seen by the clinician to hasten HNC diagnosis.

Utilizing mechatronic agilent gas chromatography to validate therapeutic efficacy of against oxidative stress and inflammation.

The quest for novel antioxidant and anti-inflammatory medications from medicinal plants is crucial since the plants contain bioactive compounds with a better efficacy and safety profile than orthodox therapy. This study harnesses the capabilities of mechatronics-driven Agilent Gas Chromatography, deploying , and in silico models to unravel the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory attributes within ethanol extract (CPEE). Employing gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), our analysis efficiently segregates and evaluates volatile compound mixtures, a technique renowned for identifying organic compounds, as exemplified by its success in detecting fatty acids in food and resin acids in water.
